the other day i bought a fender fat strat with shiny metallic blue paint and it kicks ass. but it has shit strings. on the back of the guitar on the tremolo cover is a sticker stating that it comes equiped with fender super bullet end strings. the idea is that the bullet shaped balls on the ends of the strings fit the tremolo bridge thing exactly and apparently it maintains tuning stabilty or some shit like that.

but personally i think that they sound absolutely shite.

anyone think the same/otherwise?

I used them on my pacifica once, they were not bad. One of them snapped if I remember. I only got them once to experiment, from my experience so far nothing beats a pack of Ernie Balls.

I'd sooner use that wire you get to cut cheese with as guitar strings than a set of Ernie Bollocks. Every time I have used a set I break one after a week.

i like d'addario strings.

they come in nice environmently friendly packaging, with that non corosive bag thing.

and they have colour coded ends!

they sound nice too.

Earnie Balls Suck eggs - they've put my 1st guitar out of order. The ball's at the end have stuck into my bridge and refuse to come out, the balls also dont fit 'properly' into most basses.

I used to use Dean Markleys, then I bought Dean Markley Blue Steel strings. They are double the price but I got them for half, they were ment to last longer and not corrode - ironically they were just as bad.
